"My family boarding our van on their way to bus station."After attending mass together with my family, asking for some guidance from the Lord and the encouragement of my friends here in Manila, naging madali ang pag ayos namin ng problema sa family. Now, we settled everything and make us more closer to each other.
My family returned to our province yesterday, except for my mom whom i promised to spend more time with her in Manila, and we decided to spend the season together with our relatives in the province. I'm going to our hometown next week at kasama ko ang mother ko pag-uwi.
After the relief, it was time for me to unwind with my closest friends. Kailangan ko rin na lumabas kasama sila to thank them for the friendship and the lost time i had with them.
Pagkatapos kong hinatid ang family to sa bus terminal, i called up Dave first para mag meet kami sa Gateway Cubao, but he told me na pumunta muna ako kay Mar, who lives malapit sa area. When I arrived at Mar's place, matagal kaming nag kuwentuhan and i found out that he is now managing female talents and has already put up his own house in Antipolo. I was so happy to see him succeed and live a bountiful life. After a few hours dumating si Dave, driving his car at dumiretso kami ng Steak Place sa Timog Ave. I was supposed to surprise Allan on his birthday sa Friday, pero hindi nakatiis si Dave na tawagan ito sa Cavite dahil may surprisa daw sa kanya. Sinabi ni Dave na kailangan siyang lumuwas kaagad ng Maynila. Dali-daling lumuwas si Allan dala ang kotse niya and in just an hour dumating siya sa Timog. Hindi muna ako nagpakita sa kanya at laking gulat niya ng bigla na lang akong lumabas ng kotse. He was surprised to see me, we hugged ng matagal at dahil sa tuwa namin, hindi namin alam na nasa kalye pala kami with many people. He told me na hindi niya alam kung bakit hindi siya maka hindi kay Dave na lumuwas ng Maynila at kahit alanganing oras,bumiyahe siyang mag-isa from Cavite.
We proceeded to Music 21 at masaya kaming nag kumustahan,nag kuwentuhan at nag kantahan sa loob ng KTV room. We stayed until 3:00 a.m.
After that, umuwi na si Allan kasi my duty pa siya sa Children's Hospital at 6:00a.m. Dumaan kami ng Heartbeat para sunduin yong talent ni Mar at hinatid namin sila sa bahay nila. Dave and I went to his house para palitan yong dala niyang kotse ng kanyang bagong Trooper kasi balak naming dumiretso sa Antipolo para makita yong bahay ni Mar. Kapit bahay pala niya si Rosanna Roces. Dave told me that his house cost almost 12.5M, which he bought it few years ago for his family. I told him na sobrang swerte niya and he get back to me na dahil sa sobrang love niya sa family, especially to his mom, he was blessed. At his age, 28, nakabili na siya ng malaking bahay at may sarili ring condo unit.
Way back years ago, i saw Dave how he loves his mother, lahat ng paghihirap niya, para sa kanyang ina and his family. Totoo iyon, sabi ko. Kaya i advised him na patuloy niyang mamahalin ang family niya in the best way he can.
At kahit alanganing oras, he toured me sa loob ng bahay niya. Sobrang impressed ko sa ganda ng bahay niya. Last na pinakita sa akin yong room niya. It was so big, fully furnished, malinis at well-organized. He offered me his house pag wala daw akong matutuluyan. Ganoon kabait si Dave kaya naman super dooper love ko ang bestfriend ko na to, kahit matagal kaming di nagkita at successful na siya, still hindi pa rin siya nagbabago ng ugali. Napaka humble pa rin niya at hindi niya kami nakakalimutan.
When we go back, dinaanan ulit namin si Mar we had our breakfast in McDonald's at 5:00 a.m. Don kami inabot ng sunrise and we decided na wag nang tumuloy g Antipolo dahil na rin siguro sa sobrang nainom at antok na kaming lahat.
Hinatid nila ako sa Sauyo Q.C. and we parted at around 6:00a.m.
It was a real fun spending time with my long-time-no-see friends at talagang walang tigil ang kuwentuhan, saya and kumustahan. Just like my friends in Riyadh, hindi rin sila nakakalimot sa friendship namin. Although marami yong may mga family na at hindi na namin ma-contact, still we remain good friends kahit i am far from them.
